We think it is absolutely necessary to differentiate instruction since all students are at different levels. We also love to differentiate instruction too! After assessing all students, we will begin to make accommodations as we see necessary so that each student's learning needs are being met. HOW DO YOU ACCOMMODATE MULTIPLE LEARNING STYLES? We know that all students think and learn differently. As a result, our lessons incorporate elements which reach the variety of learning styles in our classrooms. This way, all children can be successful learners! CAN I VOLUNTEER IN YOUR CLASSROOM? We welcome parent volunteers in our classrooms during the times with which we are allotted. However, all volunteers must attend the VIRTUS Training class prior to volunteering. Once you have had the training, you must stay current on your bulletins to continue visiting the classroom. Please let us know if you are unable to keep the time for which you volunteered. HOW DO YOU COMMUNICATE WITH PARENTS? We believe parent-teacher communication is extremely important! As a result, we consistently communicate with parents in a variety of ways. Red folders, newsletters, emails, and classroom websites are just a few of the ways that we communicate with parents. WHAT CAN I BRING IN FOR MY CHILD’S BIRTHDAY? Birthday treats must be non-edible due to allergies and medical conditions. This is a school-wide policy. DO YOU HAVE SNACK EACH DAY?
